Crews respond to collision between 18-wheeler tanker truck and pickup truck in Suffolk

A portion of Route 460/Pruden Boulevard and Robs Drive in Suffolk is closed while crews respond to collision involving a pickup truck and 18-wheeler tanker truck, officials said.

The crash happened about 12:50 p.m. in the 3300 block of Pruden Boulevard, according to Suffolk police.

Police said a pickup truck was at a red light when the tanker truck swerved, hitting the back corner of the truck and landed in a ditch. The 8,000 gallons of fuel in the tank didn't leak, officials said. The driver was taken to a hospital for injuries that weren't critical.

Crews, including Suffolk Fire and Rescue and Portsmouth Fire and Rescue Hazmat are helping remove the tank, and anticipate the roads will remain closed for a few hours more.
